Why Competence by Design (CBD)? The Rationale

Why Change? While Canada’s medical education system is exceptional overall, there are gaps and challenges within the current model that need to be addressed.

Potential for students to graduate with gaps in readiness-to-practice Drivers for Change Potential for students to graduate with gaps in readiness-to-practice Via: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com

Issues within Current System New age of accountability Image: www.rischiocalcolato.it

Drivers for Change Increased public concern and need to demonstrate continuing competence

Drivers for Change Concerns about the “tea-bag” model of education which credentials physicians based on the time spent in training, not based on their achievement of necessary abilities. Image: www.dreamstime.com

Assessment Tensions in Current World Residents can be disempowered Great burden placed on faculty Teacher-Learner exchange is corrupted Failure to fail Dichotomous judgements Little direct observation High stakes national exams

System Challenges in Current World Learning judged by time spent, not ability Trainees unprepared at stages Variable workplace assessment/failure to fail Concerns about patient harm Missing content Faculty overload & educational inefficiency Resource imperatives Lack of support for lifelong learning Need for assessment for learning

MedEd Matters Evidence suggests that where a physician trains determines the level of care that physician will provide throughout his/her career. 14

We Get Better With Time…but…

…Rates Are Predicted at Certification

Need for an Improved System We need a system that: Addresses changes to patient and societal needs; Assesses competence, but teaches for excellence; Ensures competencies in all domains evolve across the continuum of medical education (residency to retirement); and Enables flexibility; allows physicians to identify when and how changes apply to practice.

Change is Underway… CBD

New World: Competence by Design (CBD) Competence is about performance – the right thing, for the context, at the right time

New World: Competence by Design (CBD) Conceptual framework for performance assessment. Khan and Ramachandran, Medical Teacher 2012; 34: 920-928

Purpose of CBD To improve the health and health care of Canadians by ensuring specialists are consistently prepared to continuously meet evolving patient needs.

Based on a competency model of education and assessment; and What is CBD? Multi-year, transformational change initiative in specialty medical education; Focused on the learning continuum from the start of residency to retirement; Based on a competency model of education and assessment; and Designed to address societal health need and patient outcomes.

Why CBD? Why Now? The CBD program will: Support the development, implementation, and evaluation of competency-based, learner-focused education Reflect, and respond to, the world-wide movement towards competency-based medical education. Align with Future of Medical Education in Canada - Postgraduate (FMEC-PG) and the Future of Medical Education in Canada – Continuing Professional Development (FMEC-CPD)projects.

Why CBD? Why Now? con’t By focusing on learning rather than time, CBD will enable our MedEd system to Ensure competence, but teach for excellence; Support physicians’ skills and abilities to evolve throughout practice—enhancing care; Respond to changing patient and societal needs; Address gaps in the current system, like the “failure to fail” culture of resident education; Reduce burden on faculties, promoting smoother credentialing and accreditation; and Increase accountability and promote transparency in training.

Time will be a resource, not a restriction. Hybrid Model of CBME CBD will introduce a hybrid-model of competency-based medical education (CBME) to specialist education in Canada. Time will be a resource, not a restriction. Number of years needed to complete a residency program is not expected to change for the majority of residents. Image: www.bing.com/images

Competence Continuum

What New Value will CBD Bring? Milestones and Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) for improved teaching, learning and evaluation; Increased support and faculty development tools and templates; National curriculum framework; Updated CanMEDS Framework focusing on key issues like patient safety; and Integrated education across the continuum.

What will CBD Eliminate? FITERs completed prior to the end of training Inefficient assessment (like ITERs) Awkward feedback Assessing everything all the time Teaching everything all the time

CBD: Improving the Resident’s Journey Ultimately, a move to CBD is about a better way to train health professionals.
